Entrepreneurs are a different breed…we embrace things that are uncomfortable. We welcome change, we take risks, we leave our day jobs because we believe we can MAKE IT HAPPEN. We constantly walk the edge between failure and success…practicing deep breathing techniques and progressive relaxation, hoping to push through the uncertainty and gain the advantage. And although these same characteristics have existed since the caveman created the wheel, then turned around and sold it to his neighbor for 5 rocks, the world around us has changed…making it easier and easier to go into business for ourselves.

Today, we are no longer limited by geography or technology. We are living in an age of internet networking, instant messaging and a camera/phone/tv/mp3 player/hard drive strapped to our sides. Anyone with the ability to create a website from a template can immediately be in business and drive customers to their products…For someone who loves possibilities and big picture thinking, like me, this is Nirvana (no, not that Nirvana, this Nirvana).

It is a great time in history to be starting a business…so many resources, so many options…I was so enthusiastic, I decided to start two. I left my executive job, with a great assistant and a regular paycheck, to embark on this adventure…I just kept thinking, if I can run a company this size for someone else, why couldn’t I do it for myself?

And I can…I am…and I am taking you with me…
